  • Summary

  • Why do people with limited knowledge often believe they know more than they actually do? In this episode of Mind Theory, we explore the Dunning-Kruger Effect, a cognitive bias that leads individuals with low competence in a particular area to overestimate their abilities. We’ll dive into real-life examples, such as two friends learning Spanish, and discuss how this bias manifests in everyday situations—from the workplace to personal growth. We’ll also touch on the controversies surrounding the Dunning-Kruger Effect and explore related cognitive biases that shape our perception of competence. Tune in to learn how self-awareness can help us avoid this common mental trap.
